Ground Beef 'wellington' With Fennel image

I took the idea of wrapping beef in pastry from the traditional beef Wellington to make a simpler dish with the kick of fennel and chile. I serve these with tomato sauce.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h

Yield 2 pastries, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup fennel, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 egg
1 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, fennel, and garlic. Cook and stir until the fennel is tender, and the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fennel seed and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute more. Meanwhile, beat the egg in a bowl, then mix in the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, and salt. Add the cooked vegetable mixture, and stir until combined.
  • Separate the crescent roll dough into two squares. Divide the meat mixture among the crescent roll squares, then seal the dough around the meat. Place seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry has turned golden-brown, and the center of the pastries registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) on a kitchen thermometer, about 30 minutes. Slice and serve.

I'm not much of a cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out great. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is amazing! I've never had beef wellington before, but this was the perfect introduction. The pastry was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was tender and flavorful.

I liked the idea of this recipe, but the fennel was just too overpowering. I think I'll try it again without the fennel next time.

I'm a pretty experienced cook, but this recipe was a bit too challenging for me. I ended up with a soggy bottom.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pastry didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

I was looking for a twist on the traditional beef wellington, and this fennel-infused version exceeded all expectations. The flavors were complex and harmonious, and the fennel added a touch of unexpected delight.
